Pokemon Bank is a great idea, and its good to see a way to actually trade your Pokemon from one game to another, without the aid of a secondary console.

As for the fee... well what do you expect? Services have to cost money in order for them to be sustainable, and since this is clearly a long term service, its beneficial to everyone that is sticks around.

My question with the pokebank is: will it be the only way to get pokemon from BW to XY? Or will they also do an ingame transfer for players with two 3ds consoles? It seems a shame to charge people for something some of us may only use once :/

I'm sorta borderline on Bank. I want to know what this annual fee is. If it's something reasonable like 5-10 bucks, that's cool. But I'm not down for shelling out 20 bucks for it, or heaven forbid full title price either. Even if it is annual. And Nintendo can't expect people to actually pay that much for a service like this

OMG, The Kanto Starters and their Mega Evolution, I love you Nintendo and Game Freak!
Since I'm thinking of starting with Fennekin, It might be the choice between Bulbasaur & Squirtle
or I could get Charmander as well! :P
